Hari Kunzru: Gods Without Men

Driven by the energy and cunning of Coyote, the mythic, shape-shifting trickster, Gods Without Men is full of big ideas, yet centered on flesh-and-blood characters who converge in the desert. Viscerally gripping and intellectually engaging, it is above all a heartfelt exploration of the search for pattern and meaning in a chaotic universe.

Hari Kunzru, the author of the novels, The Impressionist, Transmission, and My Revolutions, is the recipient of many major literary awards, including the Pushcart Prize. Granta has named him one of the best young British novelists. His work has been translated into twenty-one languages.
